Jazz community livid over Maria Schneider's Montreal Gazette review

Jeff Heinrich's review for the Montreal Gazette of the Maria Schneider Orchestra at the Montreal International Jazz Orchestra has touched off a firestorm of protest from readers. Here is the single-paragraph review which is followed by more than 60 (at the time of this post) comments decrying Heinrich's review.

Doug Ramsey's comments on the piece on his Rifftides blog, which is my original source for this post, can be found here.

I have not yet found an alternate review in English (if you find one, drop me a line), but promise to post one if I can find it.

The Celebrity Series presented Ms. Schneider and Orchestra, with pride, at Berklee Performance Center in November 2007.
